very nice

[Graystroke]

So when you plan on having this thing done? Overhaulin' does it in 7 days!

[StevenAg03]

im thinking a better estimate would be 7 months...

[agjohn02]

closer pics of what you did to offset the shackles on the front springs?

[CheapJeep]

Very nice fab work, bumpers, frame, etc...look excellent. That case is blingin'! Is it me or does it look like the front pinion angle will be pointed at the ground with the springs recessed like that with the shackle reversal?

I can put my spring perches at whatever angle I want...
I will try to get the pics of the offest shackles - nothing special, just a welded on 1/4" plate to space the spring over one way.

That is a sweet tcase. Why the 2spd Stak over the Atlas? They're pretty close in price aren't they? I thought the reason most people buy Stak was for the 3spd.

That's what shims are for. Mine were about 5/8" thick at the fat end.

it's much cheaper than the Atlas when you start adding up the upgrades. The yokes / flanges / e-brake / 32 spline / 5.44 gears / and shifters are all cheaper - on top of the case being like $300 cheaper. The Stak come standard with all this but you have to pay extra on the Atlas. I also wanted something different... How low can you go in the Atlas?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

10.34
















6.0 on the 2spd though

[uglyota]

I can vouch for sexayness of the STAK, as well as the rest of the fab.
that brake setup turned out real nice

[agjohn02]

I need to find some Chevy rotors and measure them - anyone? O-Reily has to order them...

i was just looking at napa's site and remembered this. dont know if you still need it but the site says they are 3.080".
